Just keep re-posting it as soon as it falls off the first page. There are a couple guys that do this and I think it's just peachy
there is literally no absolute way to gauge a fair trade. compare, for example, an iso for peche 'n' brett to a ft for peche 'n' brett by the same guy 2 days apart. forget establishing a standard across multiple people, you can't even get something consistent by one person. and that's not to blast either offer, but i'm saying there's too much psychology at work (tendency to overvalue what you have vs. what you want) to get a firm handle on the problem. my suggestion? don't trade.
Hahahaha love it! You either have an iron clad memory or an amazing amount of free time to catch these things.....or both! my suggestion? don't trade.
In person trades can be tough, because both parties have access to the same stuff. You basically both need to be pretty active traders to make it work.
good advice. also, give more than you receive . . . you'll find that in the long run and on the whole that it all comes back around for the better.
when you set up a trade - send a box you would be happy getting and forget about winning or losing - trading is fun, so enjoy - my suggestion? do trade, but remember it's only beer.
my advice: start with off the shelf locals that you know you can always get, and trade with experienced traders who will show you the ropes. build trust, develop a regular trading relationship, and if you really want to go whale hunting, ask them for advice.
Don't turn iso/ft threads you start into auctions. If you offer something and get what you ask, quickly, don't hedge your bets thinking a better offer is coming. Make an ISO/ft you will do if met. If you don't have any trades here offer to ship first, and be prompt with communication
